i'm using php4.3.10 and freebsd4.8-stable however i have troubles with loading ttf fonts in the right color. the php coding works fine with other OS such as "Debian linux", "mac OS" and dare i say "Windows." basically php coding generates an text image using GD and here is the code.
Code: Select all
<?php
// Set the content-type
header('Content-type: image/png');
// Create the image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
// The text to draw
$text = 'Testing...';
// Replace path by your own font path
$font = 'fonts/arialblack.ttf';
// Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
many thanks.
